Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Mass Loss in Red Giants
A red giant, originally a 9.5 \(M_{Sun}\) main-sequence star, loses a solar mass in 100,000 years through a superwind. We are asked to calculate the following:
1. **Mass Loss Rate in Solar Masses Per Year:**
- What is the mass loss rate in units of solar masses per year?
2. **Remaining Mass After a Given Time:**
- How many solar masses are lost in 0.5 million years?
- Calculate the red giant's mass after this period. (Enter your answer as a multiple of \(M_{Sun}\)).
#### Interactive Features:
- **Input Box:** To calculate and input the mass loss rate \(M_{Sun}/yr\).
- **Check Answer:** Displays an error if the wrong value is entered.
- **Second Input Box:** For calculating the remaining mass after given time.
- **"Need Help?" Button:** Provides guidance through further reading material.
This exercise helps students learn about stellar evolution and mass loss in late-stage stars, emphasizing real-world astrophysical calculations.
